ABOUT MEL

Living in Northern Ireland with my husband Dave and my two kiddos, I have been building my coaching and consulting practice since 2016; running events, workshops, retreats, group programmes, training and one to one support.

These days, my work includes helping women build courage in their life, work and leadership through coaching programmes and working with businesses and organisations that want to invest in the personal development of their teams and leaders. I also work in my local community as a restorative justice practitioner which I love.

I believe in the power of women and girls all over the world to shape the now and change the future and that we need to challenge the narratives and boundaries that hold us back - both in our culture and within ourselves.

— Carla McGreevy, Breathwork & Self-Care Coach

“Mel has created something so nurturing. I have been looking for business help for a while but never felt a connection. Everyone else felt really salesy, telling me how much they could do for me. Mel made it totally about me; helped me connect inwards for the answers. This work is what every female entrepreneur needs and the way Mel runs this business is amazing.”

VALUES & PRIVILEGES

Integrity

I will never use manipulation or fear-based language to encourage your engagement in my content or programmes. I trust my clients and community to make good decisions for themselves and to be fully aware of the commitments they step into when they work with me.

I am anti-hustle culture and won’t ever push my clients to do more than they have capacity for.
I will never sell you a specific outcome or result in the work that we do together because I understand that it is not possible or ethical to guarantee this.
We will always work together to create goals that are right for you, not based on any external arbitrary ideals; this also requires my clients to take radical responsibility for themselves.

Inclusion

As a white, cis-gendered heterosexual able-bodied woman, I recognise the layers of privilege that I hold that enable me to build this business.

I believe that we all have much to learn from voices and communities that have been historically marginalised and I am making efforts to be more intentionally inclusive in my business, including paying diverse experts at different levels of my business model.
I aim to co-create a facilitate a safe community in my coaching spaces, understanding that trust and safety is earned and is the responsibility of everyone in the coaching space.
I am committed to doing the work to untangle my own biases and align my learning with action.

Accessibility

There are many free or low-cost options to working with me or learning from me; including my podcasts, Instagram content, email list and free PDF downloads and free workshops.

I offer non-punitive payment plans for all of my 1:1 or group coaching programmes and believe payment plans are a form of financial accessibility.
I am also working on ways to expand accessibility in my business, including ensuring that my services are optimised for those with other requirements (i.e. sight, hearing or neurodiversity).

My commitment…

I am a learner too. I am committed to being on the learning path alongside my clients. I want to acknowledge that there is always more to integrate into a values-led model and I won’t always get it right or meet the expectations of others. By recognising and acknowledging that I am always learning too, I can continue to offer a high quality experience and integrate the benefits of the ongoing training and development that I invest in for myself into the work I do. My own learning does not just involve practical education and business support. Investing in my self can also include coaching, supervision and therapy so I am accountable and responsible in my practice.

HERE’S HOW I CAN HELP…
